Capacity
Select this option and MediaShield will automatically configure the best RAID option
based on the number of drives and the desire for maximum capacity. This array will NOT
be fault-tolerant, so choose this option only if your data is non-critical or is being backed
up. The total capacity of the volume that will be created is displayed. You can click on
more information to see a detailed description of the volume that will be created.
1 Click Next.
The following screen appears:
The checkbox titled ʺLaunch Windows Disk Manager when finishedʺ will
automatically bring up Windows Disk Manager to complete the configuration. See the
chapter titled ʺ
Initializing and Using the RAID Array Under Windows ʺ for more
information on using Windows Disk Manager.
2 Click Finish.
Your RAID volume will be configured and ready for use.
Custom
Select this option to perform the RAID array configuration yourself.
Note: Custom is the only option if there are 4 or more free disks in system.
